Re: 1951 GMC 3 window half ton

looks great. nice to see guys that try to do all their own work.
as a side note for future paintng, if you mask openings with paper products like cardboard try to get the waxed stuff instead of the raw finished stuff, the raw finish or newspaper style paper will offgas paper "hairs" that tend to stick to the paint. you can use the raw cardboard for strength but then cover it with painters masking paper if you want and that will give a rigid backer. some guys use plastic but you gotta be careful removing it too early as the paint will peel off the plastic and stick to the new paint.
anyway, looks good and seemed to work out for you.
post up a few pics of it in the driveway if you can.
